Toggle Group description

The military. "The country is safe, because we have a good secret service” (A. Pinochet)

Soldiers, army members, ordinary police, Carabineros, and agents of the DINA, the feared and dangerous secret police.
They are military, but also politicians, in a mashup common in dictatorships. They can be cold, but also cruel and violent. They are respected by some, and feared by all. Among them there are loyal soldiers, but also ambitious and ruthless individuals that hide their perversions behind orders and an uniform. They are the fist of repression, justified by the need to maintain order and safety, avoiding any opposition that might destabilize or damage the government, protecting Chile from the soviet menace.
Their gameplay will be related to physical and psychological abuse, discovering brutality, and they will be torn between duty, discipline and moral dilemma.
THEMES: human dignity, responsibility, duty, morals.

Teaser:

A civilised nation is like a fertile garden: in order for it to thrive and bear fruit, it needs to be taken care of and kept with suitable moderation. Alas, the gardener's efforts and concern, no matter how diligent, not always suffice to prevent the weeds from spreading; and sometimes, however sad and hard it may be, one has to roll up one's sleeves. But pruning too must be done wisely, lest you uproot roses together with weeds. And it's certainly unwise to let others put hand to your garden.

Relations:

Nelida Gutierrez Rivera   was introduced to him at a dinner at the home of Contreras  ; the General certainly has good taste in choosing his employees. At Villa Grimaldi he noticed Osvaldo Romo  , a sneaky man he can't figure out.

The characters and the stories presented in DESAPARECIDOS are inspired by people and real facts, but their description and characterization is totally the result of imagination.
In the writing of the event numerous liberties have been taken, especially as regards the characterization of the characters, the images used and the succession of the various events, which never claim to reflect the reality of the facts or behavior of historical characters.
The interpretation of the players and the evolution of the narrative will lead to moments and events quite distant from historical reality.

It is not intention of the authors to express any specific position or to make judgments on specific facts that actually occurred -except to condemn the use of any form of violence by anyone- nor to diminish in any way the historical and personal tragedy of the Chilean people and thousands of families involved in the drama of the desaparecidos.
